How would you feel if you knew you would change lives and make a difference in someone's life experience?

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice.

One day, it could be a trip to the supermarket, the next, supporting them in a new hobby. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves.

At this location we support three ladies with Learning Disabilities and Autism. They love going out to various activities such as Longleat, drama groups and bowling, and their hobbies include arts and crafts, puzzles, music and seasonal activities.

We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs.

However, we know that what is essential is your kindness, energy, and willingness to make someone's day brighter.
